Sad , depressing , and talentless

[Brauny Blue]

Thats if you read the poll published in todays sun.The mag 4-4-2 named the top 50 players outside the premier league, and you've guest it theres not 1 Leicester city player mentioned. Considering we were ment to be one of the strong sides in the championship this season it just shows how poor we have been.Even teams like Cambridge utd, Rotherham,Boston , Swindon have players on the list. The youth policy at the city does not seem to produce real top talent for us anymore.
We may have the likes of Stearman etc etc but i mean real good talent.
Matt Piper was probaly the last promising player to leave us but even his career as hardly gone into orbit since leaving.
So whats going wrong on the youth front. When was the last time one of the big prem teams came in for one of our young talents. While i wouldn't want to see good young players leaving our club, i feel its the only way we are going to generate any serious cash for us to have a good go in the transfer market again.

i cant take anyones view on the quality of players seriously if they believe that ade is the 17th best player in the league. surely the top 2 teams have at least 17 players better than him in their squads

while we've been poor this season i think 1 or 2 of our players can feel a little hard done by to have not made it in - tiatto for instance

 

[highland fox]

Etherington at West Ham is the best Championship player I've seen this season,Whitehead at Sunderland also impressed me.

Who actually takes notice of shite like this anyway - it's completely opinionated and (I might like to add) utter bullshit!

Bullshit it maybe JF . But you can't hide the fact that we don't exactly have clubs knocking on the door to take any good young promising players off us. There is hardly a conveyor belt of Linekers, Smith, Joachim and Heskey's being provided and the fact that we don't have any players in the top 50 is quite hard to argue against. If we should have anyone in that list then who would it be?

Walker is the only one - easily the best keeper in this division.
